I know some of y'all are angry at what Riftan did (and yes I was also quite disturbed at how his anger triggered Max's fears) but what if... it's just a what if that makes quite sense in my head at least...
What if he did that to make everyone believe that his wife is not a weakness to him in order for his enemies to not attack her? I mean, if he consoled Max in the middle of the battlefield with all his men and those attackers (plus the possibility of any spies, if there were any) then everyone will know his soft spot and decides to attack her for Riftan to surrender.
What do you think? This is just a guess tho
